Get your sexy back

Home work-outs to get you looking slim and toned

I knew about my sister’s wedding for over a year and only decided to get into shape a month before the time.I’d given birth to my little girl the year before and hadn’t gotten rid of all my pregnancy weight, so waking up at the last minute was not the brightest thing to do.

My friend Keshia told me about Hip Hop Abs, which is an exercise dance routine on DVD, with Shaun T’s 6 exhilarating workouts to tone, sculpt and firm your body. I decided to try it out and was thrilled as it didn’t feel like a workout at all; it was fun and I felt amazing.

The DVD includes 3 workouts, each to target different body areas; I particularly liked the Total Body Burn 40 minute workout.

Just like Rome that wasn’t built in a day, I didn’t become skinny and ripped overnight, but I definitely saw a difference in my body after doing the workout for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. I lost centimeters and was more toned and sculpted.

I love this DVD and would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have time to go to the gym or gets bored easily.

This workout will keep you fit and looking fabulous.

Speaking of getting bored easily… if you wish to switch to an alternative workout, get yourself the Tae Bo® DVD with Billy Blanks.This consists of short intense cardio that blends aerobics, self-defense, martial arts, dance, kickboxing, and yoga.

Billy Blanks, who is well trained in Tae Kwon Do and western aerobics, noticed that very few women were training in any of the martial arts classes he attended in the late 70s and early 80s. He felt that several factors were keeping women from participating freely in certain kinds of fitness, and he wanted to create a workout that would keep their attention and boost their confidence.

Tae Bo, builds muscles, burns fat, increases coordination, and promises to be engaging and fun.

There are a few Tae Bo DVD’s available, my favourite DVD is the Tae Bo –“Get Ripped” as it has an 8 minute workout included, which is great, especially when you are crazy busy and don’t have time to do a long workout. You’ll be amazed at what this 8 minute workout can do!

Workout Tip 

Wake up & workout. As soon as you wake up in the morning workout for at least 30min to an hour. Studies show that working out in the morning helps you burn up to 3 times as more fat as opposed to working out later in the day.


So come on gals – get active! Get your sexy
back!
